Chapter 25
Run! Run! Run faster! Jog A huge huff left her mouth when she reached at the porch of her house.
Two months passed since she had panic attack. Since she met King. 'Weird it is that I haven't seen him a while. No one home is talking about him. Completely wiped out. But blessed. Maybe they understand that we are not meant to be together or he...'
She entered in the living room to see Amanda humming while munching oats. She had a weird smile playing on her lips.
"Why are you so chirpy this morning?", Emily asked frowning while making her way to the fridge. She took out a bottle of water,
"What's not to chirp about? The morning is so magical today!," Amanda replied with a huge smile.
Emily rolled her eyes,"what's so 'magical' about it?"
Amanda got up ready to leave for Office, she hugged Emily, "You will know" and went out leaving her puzzled.
Emily shrugged and made her way to her room. Her eyes caught something on the table. It was a mouth watering McDonalds meal.
A gentle smile made its way on to her lips.
Amanda... 'She knows how to make my day.'
She took a bite of it, closing her eyes, enjoying every bit of it. 'so juicy... much needed treat' She saw a small white note beneath the plate. She frowned and picked it up.
She read it.
Dear Love,
you have been on clean eating since too long, sure it be exhausting. Maybe this little treat brightens up your day...
Yours,
King Vincent.
Her smile dropped when she saw who sent her treat. Frustration kicked in her, 'Not again!' She put down the last bite and called out her maid,
"Olivia, who put this in my room?"
"I put this. Ma'am Amanda told me to." she answered, Emily's hand threw up in frustration, ' they are with him too! Great! ' she shook her head, threw the card in a bin and told her maid to take the leftover from her room. Her jaw tightened as anger sparkled in her. 'Enough. I can't deal with this more!' she grabbed her specks, keys and strode out of the house. 'he must be at his office', She thought while getting into the car, drove straight to his office.
After 15 minute drive, she pulled her car right infront of the huge building. The glossy biggest building she ever saw after HYBE.
She handed her keys to the valley and made her way inside. Her sneaker covered feet thumping on clean glossy floor, speckled eyes were roaming around admiring the taste of the architecture who designed this office. 'Of course it is one of the highly respected businessman's workplace, Leo Vincent's however, now his sons took over after his retirement and they polished it's growth and stability to an unimaginable extent. It should be perfect and first class because it reflected them...'
She went to the reception and asked, "excuse me, can you tell me where is King Vincent 's office?" The girl in a neat bun and red lipstick behind the desk looked up from her computer. Her forehead creased at first probably trying to remember where she saw her before. "I am Emily Whiteley. Her frown changed into professional smile. "Good Morning Ma'am, his office room is at top floor. Let me inform boss about your arrival."
"Don't tell him anything.", She ordered and the girl nodded, she made her way to the elevator but interrupted by the receptionist, "ma'am, the way to his office is by the private elevator at the left corner. Let me led you."
She followed her and they reached at the top floor. There was only one room in the the whole floor. She stood infront of black door with gold name plate written 'King Vincent.' (pic book sy)
she knocked thrice a time before excusing herself and left.
The door opened and a mix of fresh spice and marine; his signature scent filled her nostrils. She took a deep breath trying to gathered courage and anger she knew she had before entering his office and now all gone.
First his scent and then his appearance made her knees wobbled. He was standing tall wearing white crisp shirt with black dress pants. The cuffs were folded till the elbows showcasing his thick arms. his hair combed neatly and a blue tooth placed in his ear. The scan ended with the seaweed orbs framed in specks met the fresh blue one who already done checking her out.
"Good morning, My Love...", He greeted in his deep voice. She nodded coldly. He welcomed her inside and led her towards the sofa. "The light of my life is here to brighten up my gloomy days"
She didn't sit and turned to him, "I am here to talk".
He instantly closed the distance between them, "And I can listen to you all day...", He wisphered,
She quickly backed away and warned him sternly, "S-Stop whatever you trying to do." She tried her best to not to be intimidated by his Aura.
He smirked teasing her more, " I haven't even started yet" she glared him out of frustration.
He sighed, "you still didn't forgive me?"
"No. Nor I want to", She spat crossing her arms and looked away. He put his finger under her chin and gently turned her to him closing the distance between them and whispered, " I know what I did is unacceptable but you should forget everything now. All the bad memories... Let's start a new life together and I'll prove worthy of your love and affection..." He ran the back of his finger on her smooth cheek. His breath was intoxicating her. She could smell the citrus, and blackberry in his breath he probably had red wine. The warmness radiating from his body attracting her. She closed her eyes for moment and took a deep breath before opening them, his closeness was distracting her. She removed his hand which was causing tingling sensation on her skin as well as in her stomach and she created some distance between them, "L-Listen Mr, King, I will forgive you but on one condition. Just go away from my life. Leave me alone and I'll forgive you."
His eyebrow rose up at her statement, "condition?" he paused, placed his hands in his pocket and started roaming around her, intimidating her more. He continued, " Conditions. Choices and Chances. these very three things." he stopped in front of her, bent down to her eye level. "I don't even give them to anyone and You dare to give me options." his tone clipped, jaw clenched, hawk like eyes piercing her soul. He straightened up. She shuddered at his words. "Y-You ask for forgiveness." He chuckled darkly, "Darling, I didn't ask you to forgive me. I asked you to forget it." he paused for a moment, the side of his lip twitched upward in an amusing smirk as he come up with something, "And now get over it. You have coped with the incident. We are getting married"
Her eyes widened in shock,"M-Marriage?" Tears rolled down her eyes. "Yes, marriage. Consider it as a punishment for your disrespectful words. Next time think before coming to me with options.
She shook her head furiously "I-I don't want to marry you! I can't marry you! I want to marry Os-"
"Enough with this. Its my final decision now. Our marriage will be held next week. Don't start all this again" his voice stern, "P-Pleas-"
"Emily. Quite.", He warned, she trembled with fear. "and if you try to defy me. I swear i will kill each and every family member of yours then you will regret that you should have listened to me in the first place. Understood?" she gulped and nodded like an obedient child. His phone rang. He checked the caller id and turned to her. "We done talking honey. I have meeting right now. Now go. My driver will drop you."
"I-I have a car"
He sighed, took off her glasses and wiped her tears.
"Stop crying now. see you soon. Take care."kissing her tear stained cheek he led her to the elevator. As the door closed, Emily dropped on her knees unable to digest his words, 'next week...' 'marriage...'
"God save me from this monster... Oscar, where are you.....?"
